Description In this episode of SantiTV, we sit down with Martin Mignot, General Partner at Index Ventures, to discuss venture capital, decision-making, and the realities of building and scaling companies across Europe and the United States. This conversation is also an opportunity to dive into his book “Bridging in the US”, where he shares insights on how European founders can successfully expand into the American market.

Key insight The best investors don’t just follow consensus: they take bold bets early. And for founders, expanding to the US is not always mandatory, but understanding when and how to do it can be a game changer.
